Here are the five comma errors you are most likely to see on the exam 1. Comma between subject and verb. When a subject is immediately followed by its verb nothing should come between them Mary decided to relax with a good book. 2. No comma after introductory phrase or clause.

No comma around interrupters. Words phrases and clauses that interrupt the core sentence and are not essential to the meaning of that core sentence should be set off by commas Mary a pediatrician really enjoys her work.

Thus it needs to be set off with commas. Here s another example Mary who always wanted to be a pediatrician loves her job. In the following example the who clause is essential to the sentence and should not be set off with commas Mary is the one who wrote the prescription.
